Cool test shots! (lots of pics)

[Joe Dillard]

Since early in '01 I've been working closely with the USS Stethem (DDG-63) and her crew. She's outfitted with an entirely new Tomahawk system that's been going through an intensive testing & evaluation period.

Anyway, here's a few recent pics of her/our success. Enjoy.

The last two pictures look like they were taken at the bombing range near our house down at niland. We get to see all kinds of cool stuff down there.

Those last two look so perfect that I think you made those up. Did you take those Joe? Wow. Are there any after shots of the shipping containers. Thanks for sharing those.

Nope, I didn't take those pics. They were shared with me. It just so happends that the guy who shot them is sitting next to me right now. He's in my office asking some questions about what I'm going to be doing while aboard in the future.

The Block IV Tomahawk "birds" were equiped with non-conventional warheads (no big bang).
